sembed In Faneuil Hall tonight, 10 protest
against the profane use of the cradle OF
liberty" That 10 Is his duty TO nterpose his vetos
10 the order OF the Aldermen granting the usdz
OF Faneuil Hall for celebrating the Queen'sN
jubilee.
Mayor O'Brien sent a reply to the COM
mittee stating that he had no power to act

THE HUB IN A wHIRL.
Probably no meeting ever held in Boston
has created such intense excitement as the
gathering of the English and Scotch socie-
ties in Faneuil Hall tonight TO celebrate
with banquet the Queens Jubilee. Ever
since the board Of aldermen granted the use
OF tle nail LOT buls pulpOoe
strong sentiment in opposition there
to has been expressed, and has
grown in intensity until within the past
few DAYS, il has seemed as though il might
develop in riotous proceedings should the
banquet take place. Every effort on the
part of the remonstrants to induce the
Aldermen to rescind their vote failed, and
the banquet took place tonight under
conditions that never before attended such
gathering in Boston.
GATHERING FOR THE FRAY.
Before o'clock groups of men and boys
began TO gather around the hail. and their
numbers were rapidly augmented until the
square was nearly filed with people. In
very few minutes detail of police arrived;
then another came, and still another, with
Deputy Superintendent Burrill in command,
until over 100 officers were on the
ground, and orders were given to
keep the walks and the space in front of the
entrance TO the hall clear. Carriages soon
began 10 arrive, and as their occupants
alighted, each gentleman was obliged TO show
his ticket TO the blue-coated sentries before
he could gain admission to the hail. BY 8
O'Clock, the hour for holding the banquet,
Dock square and the approach TO Faneuil
Hall therefrom, had become densely packed
with people, and the other streets leading
into Faneuil Hall square also contained large
crowds.
CLUBS ARE TRUMPs.
The orders were given to drive the crowds
